Kimmel initially responded on Twitter, but then addressed the whole messy situation on his show last night.

"Kanye West called me about an hour ago in my office and he's very angry about a bit we aired this week," Kimmel told viewers. "He said a lot of things. He told me I had two choices: to apologize publicly ... and that was really the only choice. He said 'your life is going to be much better if you apologize.'"
